Hi everyone,
I've been searching for a VNC client for the HD2 for controlling my home desktop remotely, preferrably one that allows me to zoom in and out as well. I've done a Google search and haven't been able to find something that works well with the HD2, at the moment the closest I can find is something by Mochasoft, but I can't figure out how to zoom in and out.

mochasoft VNC cannot zoom in or out. however, it's a very good VNC client, i'm using it for years now on all my HTC's... but since my HD2 it's very hard to use it due to the capacitive screens (can't use fingernails or stylus). However, there is a way to pinch and zoom with VNC. install BSB Tweaks (latest version) found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305
Then run it, press menu, then Pinch to zoom, and select any program you wich to pinch and zoom in! Mochasoft vnc was not in my list, if that's the case just go to options, add application and follow instructions... that's it. Now you can zoom in mochasoft VNC, i use it all the time....

I think you dont know what VNC really is and how it works. You need to start a VNC-Server on your Desktop-PC. There you can set a password.
There are already several threads for this topic, the .NET VNC Viewer (http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/) is the one I worked with and I only can advise it

Hey guys,
you may have seen the new app iDisplay. I thought the idea was pretty cool but when I went to install it, it said "this item is not compatible with your device." I sent an email to the devs and they got back to me very quickly but weren't very helpful. So, I figured I'd try to get it working myself.
What I did is, I plugged my monitor in to my computer twice, once through dvi and once through hdmi. This makes your computer think that there are two displays plugged in.
Then, I set up a vnc server(tried both realVNC and TightVNC, both seemed good). In order to get this to work I had to go to "windows firewall" in the control panel, click advanced settings. Then I went to inbound rules and clicked "new rule." I selected "port" then "tcp" and then put "5900" in "specific local ports" box. You can name it whatever you want.
Finally, I downloaded a vnc client on my android device. I found that androidVNC crashed a lot but Remote VNC Pro w/ Ad seems to be working well. Then I just entered the IP address of my computer(you can find this out by typing ipconfig in a command prompt) and put in the password I had set with RealVNC.
Unfortunately, this shows the whole display(or both displays, depending on how you look at it). You can zoom in on the part though. If anyone figures out a way to get this to only show one of the displays, let me know.
I hope someone finds this instructions useful. It's a bit slow and it doesn't work perfectly, but I've found it kind of handy for having a chat window open on the side.
Thanks,
Samuel Maskell
Thanks! It's slow but it works. It's also possible to click "Connect to a projector" in the Screen Resolution Settings to add a new monitor
srry for reviving a old thread, but it might be helpful for newbies
PS: NVIDIA Control Panel can be used to create a custom resolution, in order to fit the device
I would like to control my ubuntu desktop from the Transformer. Does anyone use RDP or some other service like logmein with ubuntu with an android client?
I've tried Teamviewer, which is great, but the free version disconnects after 5 min.

Have you tried a VNC client? Ubuntu has a VNC server build in (called probably Remote Desktop - you can find and configure it in preferences).
I wish splashtop would put out a Linux client. I'd install unity and use splashtop. That'd be fantastic.

I have it installed through WINE but doubt it will work. I installed it for test but didn't have time to really check if it works (or to uninstall even though it starts every time I use WINE and adds an icon to window tray and pisses me off).
I added a request too, but no one probably read it there: http://support-remote.splashtop.com/entries/20010287-ubuntu-version-of-streamer
Have you tried android-vnc-viewer?
PocketCloud works well and there is no time limit. The free version only allows you to add one server though. You need to enable the built in remote sharing in Ubuntu.

I use PocketCloud on my phone without issue, but I cannot use it effectively from the Eee Pad with VNC servers. RDP works fine but VNC doesn't allow me to select the keyboard ever and the mouse pointer is always about a cm to the left of the touch pointer. Been very annoying; since it's a rather expensive app I will surely be pursuing support from Wyse.
did you try holding down the touch pointer thing? I think its designed such that you can still see the pointer when you move via dragging the circle around. Holding down the circle should bring up the menu where you can select the keyboard
Hi,
I'm looking for an app that will allow regular work like:
- Right click
- F5 (or refresh)
- WinKey + R (run)
and etc...
I've tryed 2X and Remote RDP, but none of the support right clicking.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thx!
SplashTop HD is by far the best RDP app I've used. Haven't used it with a mouse but it works very well with touchscreen (hold for right click).
A slightly older version is included in MyCloud which is already on the tablet, does everything the market app does but hasn't been updated to link you computer via e-mail address for auto lookup off the network.
I used to use Wyse PocketCloud but quickly replaced it when I tried Splashtop.
Yep, SplashTop HD is the best IMO
Splashtop is not really an RDP software.
You need to install a software on the computer that grabs what is on screen and sends that to the tablet.
I use remote rdp, which is real rdp client. Right click is done by clicking and holding. You can even set the screen size of the connection (i use 1280x750) which is perfect for the tablet.
* sigh * Splashtop is the best at what it does.

Ok you have a point there but unless your in a situation where you can't install the streamer on the computer (eg. Server at work ) Splahtop is the best option.
For accessing servers at work I have streamer on my work PC and RPD from there - maybe not as fast as connecting direct but keeps security guys happier
Try PocketCloud Pro
I'm using PocketCloud Pro:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wyse.pocketcloudfull&hl=en
It's a true RDP client, and should do everything you're looking for.
PocketCloud Pro, true RDP client, with all the features you asked. Also supports other remote access protocols.
Do any support remote desktop to a Linux box?
My favorite is X2.
But I just got my TF101.
I asked the support to implement right-click an F1F12-keys.
They answered they would discuss this in the next meetings.
This would be really great.
btw: There is an app with supports right-click.
I don't remember the name, but the non-trail-version costs about 17€ and has some disadvantages compared to X2.
I love X2 stays connected in the background.
It seems like most of the major the RDP have some form of "right click" functionality. The issue is you have to usually do some special screen press combo or use a context menu somewhere. This is fine for simple operations but is extremely annoying for trying to do serious work or gaming via RDP.
I'm hoping that either splashtop or PocketCloud will support right click via the touchpad's right click or even better via an external mouse that is plugged in or connected via bluetooth. I hear there is no API to support that at the moment and that is the reason no one implements such a thing.
I'd also really like to have secondary buttons on my mouse work (like depressing the scroll wheel etc...). My dream is to be able to use CAD software remotely or maybe even play a game of L4D. Right now it runs and works, just the mouse implementation prevents you from being efficient and is really frustrating to use.
Maybe when ice cream sanwich comes out, the mouse APIs will be included.

I've literally never had a dropped connection. I use PocketCloud all day for work on both windows and linux remote systems. Not saying I don't believe you, just saying I've had a different experience than you.
Pocketcloud is a bit pricey compare to other apps, but it's totally worth it if you use it for business. The on-screen mouse pointer control dial thingy is the best input method I've ever used on a tablet, You can click accurately on the smallest item and see the pointer the whole time, plus it gives you quick access to right-click, the windows key, etc.
Hm, it's really unlikely any app out there is going to support the right click on the transformer dock the way it's configured, but I really want this. Maybe there's a free RDP client out there ripe for modding this functionality in? I don't know how hard it would be.
Actually I use Xtralogic's Remote Desktop and it works PERFECTLY with the dock, including right-click support, and 'hot tracking' the mouse. The ONLY weird thing about it is that you have to double-click-drag, but it's a minor thing...
With Xtralogic's (kinda pricey) app, my TF101 is basically a netbook now, and I couldn't be happier.

I used to connect to my ubuntu system but it seem that after 5 to 10 minutes the connection drops. (this using the latest ubuntu distro) Another thing I noticed is that when you do the setup , it only show vpn for mac or windows. either way it connect, but sometime I wonder is that the problem

Agree on the mouse pointer control dial. that thing is perfect.
Remote RDP should have right click, you may need to check settings? I emailed the guy when the TF first came out, he was able to do it really fast.
right click
First of all thx for sll your replyes, but like someone here said - using combinations is nice but its annoying.
I think that there should some kind of a tweak that you can install on the device that allows the use of right click button everywhere.
Wouldn'tit be nice to use right click features everywhere? Like special functions in the browsre and etc...
I'll be sure to try SplashTop...for now, TeamViewer is my nr. 1.
Ok! I keep hoping I'll see some neat way to get my desktop apps on my Surface on here! However, I found a pretty cool solution myself!
First I set up remote desktop with my windows 7 PC and my surface. That was cool. It felt clunky and slow. However, I looked up how to do RemoteApps. I thought it looked complicated but worth it. While stumbling around I found a utility that basically sets it up for you!
1. First setup remote desktop access and free the port for remote desktop. I will not describe it here.
2. I used this utility! Kim Knight's remoteapp tool. Google it. XDA won't let me post a link cause I've never posted before. I just wanted to share my findings.
3. I now can use Utorrent, Photoshop and even my silly Pidgin! Eventually I'm going to use Maya! It works great with hardly any lag! The only lag I get is when I'm saving to my tablet vs the remote computer. I haven't been able to get a browser to work yet but I have invested that much time into it. I'm sure other people will figure it out. Whats cool is Utorrent will save to my tablet. Yah download speeds are slower but expected!
Nice find
This is indeed a great find! I've played with RemoteApps before on the server editions of Windows, but it's quite tricky to get it to work with one server and not a huge enterprise! Being able to use it in this way is just great. Plus we can probably work out an XML file that will populate the apps into the RemoteApp control panel / metro RDP client automatically.
However, I'm having a problem with this on Win 8 (as a host). It seems to all setup ok, but upon connecting (from Win8 or Surface RT) after credentials, cert etc are accepted the RDP client just vanishes. I see Kim Knight's page says it works with Win 8 CP - has anyone tested it with Win 8 RTM? If MS have broken this with Win8 I think I'll have to setup a Win7 box/VM just for this purpose!
I had issues getting it working on Windows 7 pro at work, so i swapped up to Enterprise and it worked great. I haven't tested it at home yet off my system. I haven't used this but for my home fileserver, but you can take it a step further and patch RDP to work for multiple concurrent connections.
http://www.redmondpie.com/remote-de...-easy-way-with-this-native-windows-rdp-patch/
RemoteApp Tool requires:
•
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5
•
Remote Desktop 7 enabled on host
•
Remote Desktop 7 client on client
•
Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate (or Vista Pro or XPproSP3 - untested)

With concurrent connections, can you remote app and use desktop still with same login?
Edit: Tried it myself and it works. So now I can remote app in while I'm still logged in my desktop and it won't boot me off, allowing me to use them simultaneously with the same login.
I can confirm this works with Windows 8 Enterprise, but not Pro. There is, of course, no Ultimate. This is all a bit of a shame as I can't use RemoteApp on my primary home PC, which also runs Media Centre (which can't be added into W8 Enterprise).

Brilliant. Worked like a charm. No idea how, without a server running the remote app role, but it does.

RemoteApp is just a remote desktop connection to a specific application, it's been around since Windows XP SP3. It's also how XP mode in Windows 7 does its magic.
I know what remote desktop is! But remoteapp - seamless windowed app on client - is pretty impressive.

The remote app program does work under Windows 8, but you need to run it as administrator otherwise it's crashtastic.
After that it works perfectly.
One other thing is that you should apply the patch to allow multiple co-current remote desktop sessions to work on your machine, here's the patch... http://www.tenniswood.co.uk/technol...current-remote-desktop-sessions-in-windows-8/
That's not legal.

remote desktop help
Hey all, if anyone can help me get remote desktop working on my surface it would be greatly appreciated. If a developer out there could set up an app to get this done easier, could be a moneymaker, I know id pay for it.
After scouring youtube, and the web, I found a lot of different walkthroughs on how to set up a home pc as a remote server. Unfortunately, I really don't know what im doing and cant figure out why it isn't working. Im running WinXP Pro SP3 on a few year old laptop (I bought the thing during the Vista debacle, and down graded to xp for software reasons - I am an architect and needed my AutoCAD and various graphic intensive programs)
These are the steps that I have tried, all to no avail
- I go to control panel, System, Remote, turn on Remote Desktop.
- open Linksys router configuration, and try to set up Port Forwarding
- this is where it really gets confusing for me, and I don't think that I am doing it correct. I know I need to open the port, I go to Applications and Gaming, and enter RDP, Im not sure of the port number, and what else to do here
- cmd, ipconfig - I enter all information - ip address, DNS, Gateway, etc?
I then found out that in order to really get this working, I needed a static IP address - Im not sure how to do this, but I found a couple posts, and a youtube video suggesting using DynDNS to get this working as a host. I signed up, and am still not able to connect.
Any help would be appreciated - Im not great with this stuff.....I never really played with networking, before....Please help me get my Surface working. Its possible im not entering the address correctly in the Surface Remote Desktop App.
Thank You!!
If the surface is on your home wifi, it should be able to rdp (remote desktop) to the XP system no problem.
Only need the router ip mapping / translation if using the Surface outside the house on another Internet connection
Hey guys, I'm looking for recommendations for a remote desktop app to interact with a windows 7 computer, currently I use realvnc or the MS rdp app however what I need is something that will allow me to go full screen and use finger clicks direct on the screen not a virtual mouse like the two apps I currently use.
Basically I have a piece of touch ready software and I want to use it off my galaxy tablet.
Heres what I need:
It must do fullscreen
It must be direct touch
and finally it must work without an internet connection
Thanks in advance
Tim
Teamviewer?
It is still not direct touch, but I find it much easier to use than realvnc in those regards. I use it on a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard and it's fantastic
Yeah I actually use that already on my computer however it needs to be direct touch, I also forgot to say that it needs to work on a LAN without an internet connection!
A friend at work says he used to use the bVNC app. It looks like it'll connect to your already setup realvnc server, and it was the only one he found that the touch input seemed to make sense. He said he switched to VLC players built in video streaming for what he was using it for though.
i m using only teamviewer and rdp
